We lucked out with dolphins, sea turtles and an amazing array of fish. The guides were great and answered all our questions while expertly navigating the reef to make sure we saw a ton of fish. I was skeptical initially, but sooooo worth it and a ball for all ages (1.5 -70+).

Absolutely wonderful dinner and show. We were seated with enough time to get our food and appreciated that they served the children first while the adults were able to get their drinks from the open bar. Loved having the chance to try different types of drinks from the bar. I was concerned about the weather with it being out in the open since it was cloudy and had rained in the afternoon recently but it was perfect weather! Our kids and I really enjoyed the show and we had a lovely family next to us from Wisconsin that made the dinner even more enjoyable. Would have preferred the waiters/ess come more from the back as they helped their tables so that we could see and record the event a little better. Over wonderful family event that we highly recommend!

Great evening entertainment, with crowd participation, sing along and laughs. MC ‘Sam’ kept us entertained with jokes, songs and some interesting facts of Hawaii.
The grace of the dances made for a nice calming evening while the fire dances were mesmerising and a must see.
Great food and the free flow of drinks are always a welcome!
A Must if in Kona!!

The Luau itself it’s in a nice place, check in was quick. We did have to stand around in the hot sun for a bit.
Seating was a nightmare because the sun is literally right in your face and there’s no shade.
The food was bleh. It was cold and not too flavorful.

Beyond the Waipi'o Valley lookout, entry is restricted to tour participants only. As you descend the narrow, steep slope, you can overlook the Hi'ilawe Falls and taro fields, and wild horses even approached our vehicle. There are many rivers flowing, but there are no bridges, so crossing in a windowless four-wheel drive vehicle is exciting and fun. You can only get out of the car at one location.
ワイピオ渓谷展望台から先はツアー参加者以外は入場が制限されています。
細い急な坂を下っていくとヒイラヴェ滝やタロイモ畑を見渡せ、野生の馬も車に近づいてきてくれました。
たくさんの川が流れていますが、橋は架けられておらず窓ガラス無しの四輪駆動車で渡るとワクワクして楽しいです。
車から降りることができるのは1ヶ所だけでした。

The food was of better quality than other luaus. Restaurant quality. Luau itself was a bit impersonal. Entertainment was okay but not as inspirational as other luaus in the area. Too staged. Enjoy performances with more personality.

We participated as a family of three during Golden Week. We had given up on going down to Waipi'o Valley after learning that the road was closed for construction, but this tour allowed us to access the closed road (apparently due to a close relationship with local residents), and we descended into the valley in a 4WD vehicle.
Along the way, we saw waterfalls, crossed rivers, passed through fields, and encountered horses and geese, immersing ourselves in a stunning natural environment that made us forget we were in Hawaii. The scenery was very mystical and refreshing for the soul.
The guide was a very cheerful person, and unfortunately, I struggled with English and understood more than half of what was said, but they still explained things using gestures, picked flowers for us, and caught shrimp in the river, making it a fun experience. It seems they are involved in activities aimed at improving the lives of local residents.
Thanks to this tour, we were able to discover a world that cannot be seen just from the viewpoint of Waipi'o Valley. I'm glad I participated.
GWに家族3人で参加しました。
ワイピオ渓谷の道路が工事で閉鎖されたということが分かり下まで行くのを諦めていましたが、このツアーでは通行止めの道路を通れるようで(現地の住民と関係が深いらしく)、四駆に乗って渓谷を降りていきました。
途中滝を見たり川を渡ったり、畑を通ったり馬やガチョウがいたりと、ハワイにいることを忘れてしまうような山奥みたいな大自然に触れられました。
とても神秘的で心が洗われるような風景でした。
ガイドの方はとても陽気な人で、残念ながら英語の苦手な私は半分以上分かりませんでしたが、それでも身振り手振りを使って説明してくれて、花を摘んでくれたり川に入ってエビを捕まえてくれたりと、楽しませてくれました。どうやら現地の方の生活向上のために活動されている方のようです。
このツアーのおかげでワイピオ渓谷を展望台から見るだけでは分からない世界を知ることができました。
参加して良かったです。

Our experience could not have been any better! The water was calm, weather was perfect, even with the clouds, which made it more beautiful! The captain and crew, Jack, Ian, and Taiyo were so attentive, gracious, and kind towards us, as we scattered our mother's ashes. It was a day we will always treasure. We highly recommend it and look forward to another sail in the future (just for fun!). Mahalo and blessings from our Ohana to yours!

We really enjoyed the glass bottom boat cruise. We had a frustrating experience earlier with snorkeling and we were happy to have an opportunity to see the reefs and the fish from the comfort of a boat. We even got to see some sea turtles under the boat! We also thought that the price for the cruise was more reasonable than many of the attractions in Hawaii. After the cruise we went hiking on the beautiful Ala Kahakai Trail which extends north from A-Bay. The glass bottom boat cruise is a can't miss experience on the Big Island!
